Halo: Spartan Assault on sale today through the 9th for $1.99

Microsoft’s Halo franchise is live and well, having characters further integrated into Windows Phone and Spartan Assault being available on multiple platforms. If you recall last week, we touched on Major Nelsen teasing an upcoming deal covering the popular Halo game for Windows and Windows Phone. That deal is now live and you can pick up Halo: Spartan Assault for just $1.99 on both platforms.

If you haven’t yet downloaded the two titles, now’s your opportunity at a more affordable price. The deal will last until April 9th. It’s a superb saving since both the Halo listings usually go for just shy of $7 each, making it now possible to pick up bout versions for less than what you’d usually pay out for just one.

I tried it on my DV8P a couple days ago and it worked fine. I only played for a very short time but I didn't notice any issues with the UI like there had been previously. Gameplay was very smooth for the short bit I did play.

storage sense at the bottom implies apps can be put on SD card, it doesn't say if you can run them from the card though. I'm not sure if its just "move stuff over so you don't have to delete/lose info and redownload later" or not. I don't notice any huge difference in the screenshot on the blog page for 8.1 between that and my wifes 810.

It won't affect old apps like Halo. The unified apps need to be defined as universal apps (which old apps like Halo does not). And even after defined as universal app, it still up to developer whether they want to charge one time or one for each supported platform.

Can anyone tell me how much space does it take once installed on a wp device?? Microsoft only says download size, which is 714Mg, but that size is just the download package, and any app or game always takes almost double of space than what it says there. Thanks
